For who?

• End-Users using stand-alone (no backend) mode
• Students, developers or pen-testers to explore (client-server mode)
• Anyone else (e.g. Deploy to Cyber-Range or the likes)

The steps differ in complexity, starting with the easiest to full-fledge client-server mode.

Stand-alone Mode Installation

• This mode only offers protection against written executable malware files (Portable Executable format)
• It does not have any detection features that requires backend services
• There are 2 ways to install

Using Powershell

1. Copy the following commands

start-process -verb runas -Filepath powershell -ArgumentList "-ExecutionPolicy Bypass", '-Command "$standAlone=1; $site=''<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jymcheong/FreeEDR-agents/main/install.ps1>'';[scriptblock]::Create((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString($site)).Invoke();pause;"'

1. Press WinKey & R, type powershell followed by enter key to start a Powershell session
2. Paste the copied command into Powershell & press enter

Using Install.exe

This is just a helper tool to run the same Powershell command as shown above. Review source codes at https://github.com/freeEDR/installHelper if you so desire.

1. Download https://github.com/freeEDR/installHelper/blob/main/install.exe.zip?raw=true

2. Unzip downloaded file

3. Locate & right-click install.exe

4. Unblock install.exe since it is unsigned
